Signed 20 license agreements with new customers in key growth areas since separation

Paid down $11 million of debt in the third quarter, bringing total debt repayment to $312 million since separation

Filed patent infringement litigation against AMD

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adeia Inc. (NASDAQ:ADEA) (the "Company" or "Adeia") today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"Third quarter revenue of $87.3 million was in line with our expectations for the quarter and our cash generative business model continues to deliver impressive 58% adjusted EBITDA margins," said Paul E. Davis, chief executive officer of Adeia. "Importantly, non-Pay-TV recurring revenue grew 31% year-over-year in the third quarter, demonstrating our successful efforts signing agreements in semiconductors, OTT and adjacent media markets. We closed two long-term media deals during the quarter, one renewal with a significant Pay-TV customer and the other a license with a new e-commerce customer. We are continuing to invest and innovate across the AI ecosystem, including AI capabilities and foundational infrastructure, for our current and future media and semiconductor customers. Our innovations continue to receive industry recognition, with our hybrid bonding technology receiving a ‘Best of Show' award for ‘Most Innovative Technology' at the prestigious FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage conference in August."

Davis continued, "Since early 2021 we have successfully signed approximately 145 license agreements with customers who recognize the value of our IP. While we always prefer to find a mutually acceptable resolution without litigation, disputes occasionally arise that require us to take a different path to achieve fair value for our innovations. Today we filed patent infringement litigation against AMD for its extensive and unauthorized use of our semiconductor portfolio across its product lines, particularly our patents related to hybrid bonding and advanced process nodes. While we remain open to a mutually beneficial resolution, we are fully prepared to proceed through the entirety of the legal process and we are confident in our ability to achieve a positive outcome. While we still have paths to achieve our original revenue guidance range for the year, we have taken a prudent approach and adjusted our 2025 full-year guidance primarily to reflect that the license agreement we had been pursuing with AMD is now unlikely to close in the fourth quarter of this year as we had previously expected."

Revenue was $87.3 million as compared to $85.7 million in the second quarter of 2025
GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.08 and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.28
GAAP net income was $8.8 million and adjusted EBITDA was $50.7 million
Paid down $11.1 million on our term loan
Adjusted EBITDA margin of 58%

Business Highlights

Received positive ruling in the Videotron case

These forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, as well as the Company's current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business, financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "could," "seek," "see," "will," "may," "would," "might," "potentially," "estimate," "continue," "target," similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control, and are not guarantees of future results.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the Company's ability to implement its business strategy; the Company's ability to enter into new and renewal license agreements with customers on favorable terms; the Company's ability to retain and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of the Company's common stock; legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company's business; general economic and market developments and conditions; the Company's ability to grow and expand its patent portfolios; changes in technology and development of new technology in the industries in which in which the Company operates; the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which the Company operates; unforeseen liabilities and expenses; risks associated with the Company's indebtedness; unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, natural disasters and global health pandemics, each of which may have an adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Company's business, are more fully discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Causes of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, failure to complete licensing arrangements on anticipated terms and timeline, failure to prevail in litigation we may bring against third parties, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or trading price of common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures adjusted, where applicable, for either one-time or ongoing non-cash acquired intangibles amortization charges, costs related to actual or planned business combinations including transaction fees, integration costs, severance, facility closures, and retention bonuses, separation costs, all forms of stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, expensed debt refinancing costs, impairment of intangible assets, impact of certain foreign currency adjustments, discontinued operations and related tax effects. In addition, adjusted EBITDA adjusts for recurring charges of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures used in this release provide investors with important perspectives on the Company's ongoing business and financial performance and are helpful to provide investors with an understanding of our core operating results reflecting our normal business operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this press release, such as EBITDA margin, which is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of revenue, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) do not have a standardized meaning. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables attached hereto. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. All financial data is presented on a GAAP basis except where the Company indicates its presentation is on a non-GAAP basis.

Set forth below are reconciliations of the Company's reported and forecasted GAAP to non-GAAP financial metrics.
